Bernie Sanders scrapped a speech Saturday night that was supposed to make the case for why black voters should support him over Joe Biden after determining it would be better for the black participants at the event to speak on the topic.
At a town hall on “racial and economic justice” in Flint, Michigan, Sanders was scheduled to deliver a prewritten speech that spokesman Mike Casca said would “directly address the African-American community” and contrast the Vermont senator’s record with Biden’s.
